English term or phrase: REAR DERAILLEUR
"Derailleur gears are a variable ratio transmission system commonly used on bicycles, consisting of a chain, multiple sprockets and a mechanism to move the chain from one sprocket to another. Although widely referred to as "gears", bicycle "gears" should properly be referred to as sprockets since they drive or are driven by a chain, and are not driven by one another"

Explanation:
Så får du med exakt den distinktionen de vill göra i källan. Dvs. man säger växel/växlar i dagligt tal, men kuggkrans(ar) (och inte kugghjul) är en "arguably" mer korrekt term.
